CVA Wolf – 50 Cal Muzzleloader

The CVA Wolf: Modern Muzzleloader Performance on a Budget

The CVA Wolf V2 is a testament to how far “entry-level” muzzleloaders have come. Once upon a time, an affordable muzzleloader meant compromises in fit, function, or accuracy. The Wolf changes that. It’s built for real hunters who hike ridges, sit in blinds, and still want a gun that performs like a much more expensive rig.

At its core, the CVA Wolf is designed to fit just about anyone. The stock includes a 1-inch length-of-pull adjustment with a removable spacer—similar to the system used on the CVA Cascade centerfire rifle. That means you can easily tailor the gun to a smaller-framed hunter, a youth shooter, or a full-grown adult simply by adjusting the spacer. One rifle, multiple shooters, perfect fit. For families, hunting camps, or anyone who likes to share gear, that alone is a huge win.

Built Around a Tough, Accurate Stainless Barrel

Accuracy and durability start with the barrel, and the CVA Wolf doesn’t cut corners. The rifle features a 24-inch barrel made from 416 stainless steel, a material known for its corrosion resistance and longevity in the harshest conditions. Whether you’re hunting in late-season snow, coastal humidity, or damp timber, the Wolf’s barrel is built to resist rust and pitting far better than a standard blued barrel.

The barrel also features a bullet-guiding muzzle, which helps align your bullet or sabot as you start the loading process. That alignment isn’t just about convenience—it supports consistent seating and improved accuracy shot after shot. When your one chance at a buck or bull steps out at the edge of your effective range, that consistency matters.

Quick Release Breech Plug: Cleaning Made Simple

One of the biggest turn-offs for muzzleloader shooters is cleaning. CVA helped solve that problem with its Quick Release Breech Plug (QRBP), and the CVA Wolf benefits fully from this feature.

The QRBP is designed so you can remove it by hand—no tools, no wrestling with stuck threads soaked in fouling. After a range session or a successful hunt, you simply twist out the breech plug, clean the barrel, and you’re done. That ease of maintenance makes it far more likely that you’ll actually clean your muzzleloader correctly, which translates into better performance and longer life from your CVA Wolf muzzleloader.

Comfort and Control for Every Shooter

The CVA Wolf V2 doesn’t just shoot well—it handles well.

• Ambidextrous stock: Whether you’re right- or left-handed, the stock design works for you. This is especially handy in a family setting or camp where different hunters might use the same rifle.

• Reversible cocking spur: Depending on your optic setup and shooting style, you can reverse the hammer spur to make cocking easier and more natural.

• CrushZone® Recoil Pad: Muzzleloaders can generate significant recoil, especially with hunting-level charges. The CrushZone pad helps tame that kick, making the Wolf more enjoyable to shoot and easier on the shoulder during long-range sessions.

Put all of that together, and you get a CVA Wolf that feels like it was built specifically for you, not just for a generic “average shooter.”

Optics-Ready for Any Hunting Style

Another advantage of the Wolf is the flexibility in sighting systems. You can purchase the CVA Wolf V2:

• With a DuraSight® Dead-On™ one-piece scope mount, ready for your favorite muzzleloader scope, or

• With open fiber-optic sights, perfect for states with stricter sight regulations or for hunters who prefer a simpler, rugged approach.

This flexibility makes the Wolf a great option regardless of where you hunt. Set it up with a quality optic for longer shots in open country, or keep it simple with irons for tight timber and quick shots at close range.

Lightweight, Easy to Carry, and Built for Real Hunts

At just 6.5 pounds, the CVA Wolf is a pleasure to carry. Whether you’re climbing into a tree, hiking ridges, or still-hunting through thick cover, that lightweight design makes a difference by the end of the day.

It also comes equipped with a solid aluminum Palmsaver™ ramrod, which makes loading smoother and more comfortable. Instead of jamming your palm onto a thin rod, the Palmsaver design lets you apply pressure effectively without beating up your hand—especially important when you’re seating bullets over stout hunting charges.

The Confidence of a Lifetime Warranty

CVA backs the CVA Wolf V2 with its lifetime warranty, which should give you added confidence when choosing this muzzleloader. When a company is willing to stand behind a product for life, it tells you they trust the design, materials, and performance. For budget-conscious hunters, that combination of price, performance, and long-term security is hard to beat.
